“She basically bought her way out of the U.S. criminal justice system, even though she admitted to committing all the egregious conduct in the indictment,” says Kash Patel. Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou was recently given a deferred prosecution agreement and allowed to return to China. And almost immediately after, the “two Michaels” imprisoned in China—Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor—were released on bail for “medical reasons.” And lesser-known are two American siblings—blocked from leaving China since 2018—who were also recently allowed to return to the United States. In this episode of Kash's Corner, we discuss what many are describing as “hostage diplomacy.” What exactly was Huawei doing in Iran in the first place, and how is Huawei part of the Chinese Communist Party's broader ambitions to control key infrastructure nodes around the globe?

What's that? A new episode? What have these guys been doing all month... Well, whatever they've been doing all September since Episode 209, Professors Vladeck and Chesney are back at last with a new episode. Tune in as they discuss and debate: The en banc D.C. Circuit oral argument in al Hela (asking, inter alia, whether the Due Process Clause applies at GTMO) A preview of the upcoming SCOTUS arguments relating to the State Secrets Privilege The Dorfman/Naylor/Isikoff article on CIA planning relating to Assange and Wikileaks A National Security Division roundup noting the sudden wind-up of the Huawei CFO case and the new material support case against a Canadian Islamic State fighter previously held by the SDF in Syria All that, plus no small amount of frivolity (including a much-too-long endorsement of the greatness that is Joe Abercrombie).
Huawei's CFO admits to misleading a global financial institution. The Kitchen takes a closer look at a recently published DPO between the CFO and the DOJ.
After the unremitting efforts of the Chinese government, on September 25, after being arbitrarily detained for 1028 days, Sabrina Meng arrived at Shenzhen on a chartered plane by the Chinese government.Three years ago, the United States brazenly launched a trade war, sanctioned Huawei and other Chinese technology companies, and extended its long-arm jurisdiction to Meng.Three years later, Meng returned safely. On the same day, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce released the list of China's top 500 private enterprises in 2021, and Huawei ranked first for 6 consecutive years.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China.

Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou arrived in home in China at the weekend - marking an end to her nearly three-year US extradition fight. This came as two Canadians held in China for more than 1000 days returned home. They were detained just days after Meng's arrest. While China has previously claimed the arrest and detention of the Canadians was not tied in any way to the proceedings against Meng, experts say this might lead to improved ties between China and the two western allies. Canada correspondent Laura McQuillan spoke to Susie Ferguson.

A version of this essay has been published by rediff.com at https://www.rediff.com/news/column/rajeev-srinivasan-what-did-modis-washington-visit-achieve/20210925.htm This autumn has been cruel to India. Not only is the instantaneous collapse of the Afghan government a grave concern for India, based on entirely likely new terrorism threats, but then there is the obvious downgrading of the Quad partnership in the wake of the brand-new AUKUS grouping. The Financial Times believes that the Quad will become non-military. In a sense, this is not news for India, as it was clear nobody from the Quad would send boots on the ground to help India in case the Chinese invade. But it was tone-deaf for the Biden administration to announce the AUKUS deal just days before the first in-person Quad summit during his term. The other two Quad partners, Japan and India, were apparently left in the dark by the Americans. So was France, which was furious at the sudden cancellation of its own $40 billion submarine deal with Australia.At the UN General Assembly, President Biden delivered soaring rhetoric about global unity (which was contrasted with former President Trump’s anti-globalist message): “We are not seeking a new Cold War or the world divided into rigid blocs”. That would have gone over a lot better if he hadn’t just abandoned his Afghan allies, or created a new AUKUS bloc. Antonio Gutierrez, the UN Secretary General, said pointedly, and perhaps as a direct rebuke to Biden: “A breakdown in trust is leading to a breakdown in values. Promises, after all, are worthless if people don’t see results in their daily lives. Failure to deliver creates space for some of the darkest impulses of humanity. It provides oxygen for easy-fixes, pseudo-solutions and conspiracy theories. It is kindling to stoke ancient grievances. Cultural supremacy. Ideological dominance. Violent misogyny. The targeting of the most vulnerable including refugees and migrants.”The US has a massive credibility gap today, because its rhetoric simply does not match its actions on the ground. In many ways, the US is ceding ground to China, for instance in its reluctance to push for an understanding of the possible lab origins of the Wuhan coronavirus. Open-source intelligence from the DRASTIC group found that Peter Daszak of Ecohealth had sought to cooperate with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in creating an unusual feature, a ‘furin cleavage site’, in bat coronaviruses, that would make them infectious to humans. Furthermore, the US is under a Democratic presidency. We remember how badly the Democratic Clinton and Obama administrations treated India: with disdain and disrespect. Not to say that Republicans are wonderful, but these days the Democratic party has been taken over by their fringe leftists, and is remarkably ‘woke’. Thus there is no chance that anything of substance can come out of Modi-Biden meetings. The only thing that the US is seeking is weapons sales. Brahma Chellaney has pointed out that all that was actually accomplished by the high-voltage sales program called the Indo-US nuclear deal is that India bought a lot of US weapons. According to India Today, there is a lot on the table today as well. If it were up to me, I’d focus on the submarine hunter-killer P8i Poseidons, and would have nothing to do with the Norwegian-developed NASAMS system, as the Scandinavians are known busybodies.But the problem, as always, is that India opens its checkbook in return for no diplomatic or military leverage. The US sells technology to India that is obsolete or second-rate. For instance, despite much negotiation from India, the US refuses to sell its strategic nuclear submarine (SSN) propulsion technology to India: the very same stuff it is now selling to Australia. And there is also the threat of sanctions if India deploys its Russian S-400 anti-missile technology, which incidentally China also has. The fact is that Biden has now created a new military alliance, which consists only of white, Anglosphere nations. He has either thoughtlessly or deliberately snubbed the two non-white members of the Quad, that is India and Japan. And perhaps other Indo-Pacific players such as Indonesia. The involvement of Britain, increasingly a marginal power even in Europe, and practically non-existent in the Indo-Pacific, is pure Atlanticism. There are two possible explanations: one is that Biden believes the way to deal with China is to surrender the Indo-Pacific to them, and to retreat to being an Atlantic power. Australia is not much of a factor in the Indo-Pacific (will the US revert to the old term ‘Asia-Pacific’?) being far away and sparsely populated. The powers that matter in the Indo-Pacific are indeed Japan, India, and Indonesia. Even France is more of a factor in the Indo-Pacific than Britain is.The second explanation is that the agenda of “climate, conflict and corona” is uppermost in the minds of the Americans. The many visits of the climate czar John Kerry (an unrepentant Atlanticist, and a disaster earlier as foreign secretary) to India, especially when India is doing much better than many others in moving towards renewables and Paris agreement commitments, suggest that Biden is seeking to hector and bully India into things that are not in its interest.Yet another example of Biden’s pusillanimity with China is the fact that his Justice Department has dropped charges against the Huawei CFO (and daughter of its founder) who was held for a long time in Canada on charges of criminal activity. In return, China released two Canadians they held on spying charges. Lesson? China learns that hostage-taking and brazenness pays dividends.As far as the Wuhan coronavirus is concerned, Biden’s approach of hoarding far more vaccine than is strictly necessary for the US has created vaccine haves and have-nots, the majority of whom are in developing nations that have been starved of vaccines, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The AUKUS move is a definite indication that the Quad has been downgraded. What it suggests is atavism: Biden’s America is retreating to a white Anglo-Saxon view of the world. It has even decided to ditch the European Union. This is a Huntingtonian view, in which Biden has ceded Asia to China, and will attempt to rally the white Anglosphere as his last stand against the rampaging Chinese. Alas, this is a chimera.Robert Gates, former foreign secretary, once remarked that Biden had been wrong on every single major foreign policy initiative in 40 years. Did you notice that China, which is usually quick to fly into a rage, was utterly quiet when Biden made two blunders: fleeing Afghan in disorderly retreat, and humiliating allies with the AUKUS pact? That signifies that China is a votary of Napoleon’s epigram: “Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake”. The only thing that may salvage Narendra Modi’s trip to the US is his meetings with CEOs, such as those of Blackstone, First Solar, Qualcomm, Adobe, and General Atomics. These firms may recognize India’s steady growth, especially in comparison to the current chaos in China due to Evergrande’s imminent collapse. That, and a meeting with lame-duck Japanese PM Suga, may be the only things for Narendra Modi to write home about. 1130 wordsSept 24, 2021, updated Sept 25, 2021. This is a public episode.

孟晚舟案审理结束丨Huawei CFO's legal team presents final argumentsAs Meng Wanzhou's extradition hearing resumed this week in Canada, her legal team made a last pitch to the judge to stay the proceeding, arguing that there is no evidence showing that the Huawei executive caused HSBC to violate US sanctions against Iran.随着孟晚舟的引渡听证会本周在加拿大重新开始,她的法律团队向法官提出了中止诉讼的最后建议,认为没有证据表明这位华为高管导致汇丰银行违反美国对伊朗的制裁。Defense lawyer Mark Sandler opened the arguments by elaborating on elements of deprivation, HSBC's risk of violating the US sanctions, and the causal connection between Meng's actions and the bank's alleged losses. All those facts substantiate that fraud cannot be established, he said.辩护律师马克·桑德勒在辩论开始时阐述了欺诈的要点,汇丰银行违反美国制裁的风险,以及孟晚舟的行为与银行被指控损失之间的因果关系。他说,所有这些事实都证实了欺诈不能成立。"In Canada's legal history, there was never a fraud case in which the government would hold the victim accountable in the absence of actual losses," Sandler told Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes in the British Columbia Supreme Court in Vancouver on Monday.“在加拿大法律的历史上,从未有过在没有欺诈损失证明的情况下导致起诉欺诈的案件。”桑德勒周一在温哥华不列颠哥伦比亚省最高法院告诉副首席法官希瑟·霍姆斯。In thousands of fraud cases, victims all relied upon deceptive statements of perpetrators and made choices that had caused damage to themselves or put them at risk of damage, Sandler said. However, the defense argued that there was no damage or any risk of it in Meng's case.桑德勒说,在数以千计的欺诈案件中,受害者都依赖犯罪者的欺骗性陈述,并做出了对自己造成损害或使自己面临损害风险的选择。然而,辩方认为,在孟晚舟的案件中,没有实际损失或任何风险。"There's no evidence that HSBC suffered any actual loss. There's no evidence that HSBC was charged criminally. There's no evidence HSBC was sued or otherwise proceeded against civilly," Sandler told the court.“没有证据表明汇丰银行遭受了任何实际损失。没有证据表明汇丰银行被指控犯有刑事罪行。没有证据表明汇丰银行被起诉或以其他方式被提起民事诉讼,”桑德勒告诉法庭。US records of the case allege that Meng, the 49-year-old chief financial officer of the Shenzhen telecom giant, misrepresented Huawei's relationship with Skycom when she was giving a presentation to HSBC in 2013, putting the bank at risk of violating US sanctions against Iran. Meng and Huawei Technologies deny the accusations.美国的案件记录称,深圳电信巨头49岁的首席财务官孟晚舟在2013年向汇丰银行作报告时,虚报了华为与Skycom的关系,使该银行面临违反美国对伊朗制裁的风险。孟晚舟和华为技术有限公司否认了这些指控。The defense noted that Meng had clearly stated that both Huawei and Skycom operated in Iran in her 2013 presentation and presentation deck. Even though HSBC knew that the payments made by Skycom to its partner Networkers were related to Iran, the bank still chose to clear the transactions via the US.辩方指出,孟晚舟在2013年的报告和简报中明确表示,华为和Skycom都在伊朗运营。即使汇丰银行知道Skycom向其合作伙伴Networkers支付的款项与伊朗有关,该银行仍然选择通过美国结算交易。"That's been made crystal clear," said Sandler to the judge. "HSBC chose to clear the Networkers payments through the US despite being told the the precise relationship—affiliates, partners, controllable third parties—was irrelevant to whether HSBC could clear in the US," he said. “这已经很清楚了,”桑德勒对法官说。“尽管被告知确切的关系—联营公司、合作伙伴、可控制的第三方—与汇丰是否能在美国结算无关,汇丰还是选择通过美国结算Networkers的款项。"Liability for violating sanctions was HSBC's own doing and had nothing to do with Meng. I can state this another way: Nothing Meng said induced HSBC to violate US sanctions law."“违反制裁的责任是汇丰自己造成的,与孟晚舟无关。我可以用另一种方式说明:孟晚舟说的任何话都没有诱使汇丰银行违反美国制裁法。”The records of the case described HSBC as an unknowing victim that could be criminally liable as a result of its violations due to Meng's fraudulent presentation. The defense argued that the Canadian attorney general's theory regarding the deprivation risk faced by HSBC under the US sanctions was "untenable", regardless of whether it was considered from a factual or legal perspective.该案的记录将汇丰银行描述为一个不知情的受害者,由于孟晚舟的欺诈性陈述,汇丰银行可能因其违规而承担刑事责任。辩方认为,无论从事实还是法律角度考虑,加拿大总检察长关于汇丰银行在美国制裁下面临的剥夺风险的理论是“站不住脚的”。"Even if you found that there's evidence to support the inference that Meng's representations supported HSBC's dollar-clearing decision, there's no evidence that HSBC suffered any actual loss," Sandler said.“即使你发现有证据表明孟晚舟的陈述支持汇丰银行的美元清算决定这一推论,也没有证据表明汇丰银行遭受任何实际损失,”桑德勒说。Robert Frater, a lawyer for the Canadian attorney general, concluded last week that in the government's request for Meng's extradition, the US does not need to prove that HSBC relied on what Meng said to make its case for fraud.加拿大总检察长的律师罗伯特·弗雷特上周得出结论,在政府提出的引渡孟晚舟的请求中,美国不需要证明汇丰银行依孟晚舟所说的话来进行欺诈。Sandler said he is "shocked" that an extradition case that has spanned almost three years has yet to generate a clear cause of causality to establish Meng's culpability of fraud.桑德勒说,他感到震惊的是,一个跨越了近三年的引渡案件还没有产生明确的因果关系,以确定孟晚舟的欺诈罪责。"It is an unsound argument," Sandler said. "Reliance, in this case, is fundamental to causation. ... And there's no evidence that Ms Meng knew how these transactions would be processed."“这是一个不健全的论点,”桑德勒说。“在这种情况下,信任是因果关系的根本...而且没有证据表明孟女士知道这些交易将如何被处理”。

*)Deadly virus kills four in China and infects over 200 A fourth person has died from a new strain of the coronavirus in China. The deadly outbreak has infected over 200 people, with cases reported in Japan, Thailand and South Korea. The World Health Organization has called an emergency meeting to discuss the outbreak. *)McConnell proposes swift impeachment trial with long days Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has released his proposal for a speedy impeachment trial. But Democrat leader Chuck Schumer calls the proposal an attempt at a cover-up. Meanwhile, Trump rejected the impeachment charges and called for its immediate dismissal. *)Clashes erupt between migrants and Mexican authorities Mexican security forces fired tear gas at a large caravan of Central American migrants as they tried to cross a river between Guatemala and Mexico. Mexican authorities say they've detained over 400 migrants from the clashes. US President Donald Trump has threatened to 'punish' Mexico and Central American countries economically if they fail to curb migrant flows. *)Huawei CFO extradition hearing begins The extradition hearing of Huawei's Chief financial officer has started in Vancouver. Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Canada and a month later, the US indicted her for breaching US sanctions on Iran and moved for her extradition. The 47-year-old denies the charges, saying that her alleged conduct was not illegal in Canada, as the country didn't have sanctions against Iran at the time. And finally, *)Retailers slash prices of Harry and Meghan merchandise The price of souvenirs with Harry and his wife, Meghan, are being slashed just days after their split from the British monarchy. From bobbleheads to mugs and t-shirts, British gift shops are trying to clear their stock. Shop owners say suppliers plan to stop production because the couple is no longer part of the royal family.
The Roy Green Show Podcast - The Admiral Norman case. MPs from all parties agreed to apologize to Admiral Mark Norman, but before the motion was passed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Defence Harjit Sajjan walked out. Liberal dominated parliamentary defence committee refused to call Admiral Norman to testify before the committee, even though what he might have been able to speak to would have been severely restricted. What still lies ahead as far as the Admiral Norman case is concerned and: Justin Trudeau worries about U.S. states passing anti-abortion legislation. Such legislation won't see the light of day in Canada, so why is Trudeau suggesting he worries? Money laundering in British Columbia. A public inquiry and an extremely concerned Prime Minister.

Boeing 737 MAX jetliners are no longer flying anywhere on the planet. US President Donald Trump ordered the immediate grounding of the jetliners on Wednesday, citing two deadly international crashes of the same models. Trump called the disasters "a terrible thing." The Federal Aviation Administration issued a statement Wednesday saying the decision to ground the aircraft is based on new data gathered at the site of the Ethiopian Airlines crash. The US move comes hours after Canada banned the Boeing 737 MAX from flying in that country. Paul Manafort is being hit with state charges in New York that cannot be pardoned by President Trump. The indictment came moments after Manafort was sentenced to an additional three-and-a-half years in prison today in Washington, DC, in his second trial related to the Russia probe. Manafort could spend seven-and-a-half years behind bars after being found guilty in two separate cases related to Robert Mueller's probe. British lawmakers voted no to leaving the European Union without a deal. Members of Parliament voted by 312 to 308 to reject leaving the EU without a formal withdrawal agreement. The new vote comes a day after Parliament overwhelmingly rejected the withdrawal agreement that Prime Minister Theresa May negotiated with the EU over the course of nearly two years. Britain is currently scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, but a vote to delay the date will likely take place later this week. While Meng Wanzhou awaits the next stage of her extradition hearing, her lawyers are likely to be watching events in Washington as closely as those in Vancouver, where her case is being heard following her arrest on US charges last year. On several occasions, President Trump has hinted he could stop the case against the Huawei CFO as part of a grand bargain with China to end the trade war between the two countries. Is it really a good idea for Trump to weigh in on this?The FBI and federal prosecutors say they are charging at least 50 people in the largest college cheating scandal ever. US Attorney Andrew Lelling said the indictments include current and former D-1 coaches at Yale, Georgetown, USC, Wake Forest and Texas. At least 33 parents, including actresses Felicity Huffman from "Desperate Housewives" and "Full House" star Lori Loughlin, are among those facing charges. Lelling said all of the parents knew their kids were cheating on the ACT and/or SAT entrance tests or creating false sports profiles to gain admission.GUESTS: Eugene Craig III — Republican strategist, former vice-chair of the Maryland Republican Party and grassroots activist.

Welcome to episode 127 of the EdTech Situation Room from March 7, 2019, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed Google's new Chromebook App Hub website, OpenAI's decision to NOT share a new AI text generator, and Microsoft's forthcoming "Windows Lite" operating system. Dipayan Ghosh & Ben Scott's advocacy to promote intelligent regulation of Facebook and other Silicon Valley companies enabling "precision propaganda" was also highlighted, along with ways outrage over common threats can hijack parents' common sense. Facebook's declining US user base, Facebook's announcement to emphasize point-to-point "ephemeral" messaging, and SpaceX's recent success launching its Dragon crew module were also discussed. The future of "the technology correction" and our prospects for changing the "Surveillance Capitalism" model of many Silicon Valley companies, implications of the Huawei CFO extradition controversy, and the importance of media literacy in our age of fake news were additional topics. Updates to the PocketCasts app for Android, the addictive math-focused multiplayer app Prodigy, the gloomy prospects for BotNet death in the near future, the importance of unlimited data plans in the forthcoming 5G data environment, and the importance of carefully using "freemium" software platforms at school rounded out the show. Geeks of the week included an 18,000 mAh battery powered Android phone from Energizer, a fantastic video from Linda Yollis (@lindayollis) on improving student blogging quality, and Wes' planned ATLIS 2019 bootcamp workshop "Filtering the ExoFlood".

Alex is joined by Matthew Fisher, former long time foreign correspondent and war correspondent. Now he is the Resident Visiting Scholar in defence and international affairs at the University of Toronto's Massey College. They discuss how CFO Meng Wanzhou made “strong arguments” about her arrest that has been politicized and that she should not be extradited to the U.S.
Speaking with Canadian Chinese-language media in the Toronto suburb of Markham on Tuesday, Canada's ambassador to China John McCallum said Meng Wanzou, Huawei CFO, whose arrest in Canada at the request of the United States has led to a bruising diplomatic showdown between Ottawa and Beijing, has a strong case to fight extradition.
Chapter 1
A court in China announced overnight that it has given Canadian man Robert Lloyd Schellenberg the death penalty. Former Canadian diplomat, Phil Calvert, told the Simi Sara Show today that the sentence is an apparent retaliation for Canada's arrest of Huawei CFO, Meng Wanzhou in December.

These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Transcript: Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors. Airing date: 12/29/2018 Your Information Is Never Really Anonymous Craig Peterson: 0:00 Hey Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here. Thanks for joining us today. We are also, of course, posting the video online. We're trying to get the live streaming work that may or may not work. But you know what the heck, it's the last week of the year. And really the last show of the year too. Craig Peterson 0:21 I guess it is both, isn't it? And so you will maybe next year that gives us what 52 shows next year to get it right. And speaking of 52 shows, this is show number 987. That's 987 weeks worth of shows many weeks. We have multiple shows. But we stick to the one a week nomenclature because it's just amazing. This I don't use daily show counts and daily show numbers Craig Peterson 0:48 and our viewership is up of course because we're starting to post some of the videos we have a lot of this narrow insider site that you can find online right now it's free, but it is going to be a paid thing eventually. And also you will find some of this stuff up on YouTube and on Facebook where we're trying to get out there more to help more people so little itchy. Today though we've got a few things to talk about security wise Huawei course you heard all of the uproar and we saw the market kind of not being quite sure what to do when while ways I think she was or is there CFO was arrested in Canada when she was changing planes. And apparently, that was at the request of the United States because of a few different things. Now they talked in the media about one of them, which was a Huawei apparently sold technology to Iran. That was counter to our trade agreement with them with China with many other countries that when we have this embargo against Iran, they shouldn't be trading but there are six other reasons here. We'll talk about today about Huawei. In case you're wondering what company I'm talking about Huawei is spelled H-U-A-W-E-I, okay, this is Huawei is how it is pronounced. So we'll be talking about that we're going to talk about a groundbreaking studying that has examined the effects of screen time on kids. I remember when I was a kid, they were all worried about how much time we spend in front of a TV. And, you know, it probably didn't do me any good project early, maybe a lot of harm, hard to tell. But what's happening now that these kids of ours have iPads, on iPhones and on our grandkids? And how about the generations beyond. Craig Peterson 2:46 And to that end of the next big, big risk to your privacy is your child's video game habits will talk about that Craig Peterson 2:55 and how that's going to affect you. We got another thing here about deleting all of your apps. You talked a little bit about it a lot, a lot about it last week. But we've got more information on a do want to know that people to know that you stopped at Planned Parenthood. And I mentioned this as a fact. And guess what comes out in Fast Company. Craig Peterson 3:18 Yes, yet another confirmation of what Craig said urban planners and researchers at MIT found that it's shockingly easy to re-identify the anonymous data that people generate all day, every day in our cities. I mentioned this a few weeks back Craig Peterson 3:40 because it's been obvious to me, Craig Peterson 3:43 just like with 23 me thing, remember, I was telling you about a major pharmaceutical company investing 300 million into 23 and me and using that money to gain access to the data that 23andme has. And some people are upset about that some people are concerned. Should they care what the heck, right? Craig Peterson 4:04 And people say, well, it's anonymized. It doesn't really matter. And yet, we have seen the data already from these DNA research firms being used against us. You remember the arrest out in California, that serial killer, the guy was a cop and he had been a cop I'm apparently nowadays his brain isn't quite all there. But they've found him not because he put his DNA and DNA bank but because the information on the DNA bank pointed to someone that might be a close relative of, of this family member being the killer. So they investigated more investigated more, and they found the killer right. And he's up on charges. I don't think he's been convicted yet. But they have the DNA evidence for from the case. Now 23 and me I use and I used it for both of its features. One the ancestry which proved everything I already knew, which was I'm not the milkman to kid but I am mostly Norwegian, and then North-Western European, as in Ireland, Scotland, UK, Wales, all that area. So that's me. And that's kind of what we figured. And then from a health standpoint, I got lots of very good news on I don't have any of the genetic mutations that cause disease. So I wouldn't be able to pass those on to my kids. And I'm unlikely to get sick in my older age, which is very good news. And it's stuff that a lot of people are interested in. Or you might be interested in that too. I have a friend of mine Craig Peterson 5:48 whose wife came back as having one of the genetic markers for a higher tendency to have breast cancer. And I know some people, including some movie stars that have had both breasts removed, because they had to genetic markers for breast cancer. So there's a lot of good things that come of that. Craig Peterson 6:08 And there are also good things that are coming from the research in DNA because it's not as though we have this massive book here that says, Well, this DNA strand means this. And this one means that and if you have this one, and that one, but not this one, then this is going to happen. But if you have this, that in this other one, this will happen. We don't have any event, the only way we know anything about DNA is trial and error. And when it comes to animals and plants, we've been using DNA research for a long Craig Peterson 6:39 time, we've looked at RNA and RNA blocking our an AI, all of this stuff. It's, it's fascinating if everyone to study it, it's just absolutely fascinating. But when it comes to us, as humans, you can't just go ahead and turn off a DNA strand and see what happens. We don't want to do that. Because that might be lethal fatal. Craig Peterson 7:00 And who's going to volunteer for a test like that, just turn off the strand. See what happens, turn off that one, it's fine to do that with violets. And then we found in the violence we could make a purple violet white, which is really kind of interesting, but not in humans. So when humans what we have to do is study and study and study and study. And that's what the whole 23 me thing is about. They're making a lot of their money, I would guess most of their money, I haven't seen their financials, but they're making a lot of their money by selling the DNA raw data to pharmaceutical companies. Now, why do pharmaceutical companies want this DNA data, they want the data because it's important to them to see the DNA but also to get information from the other part of what 23AndMe does. And that is they asked a lot of questions. Craig Peterson 7:54 And I sat down, and I answered hundreds of questions, and that you don't have to do it all at once. I did it over the course of you know, I don't remember. It was a couple of weeks, a few weeks and answered hundreds of them. And the idea here is they asked you things like, are you balding? No, no, not balding. Well, that's good, right? Craig Peterson 8:12 Or do you have a sensitivity to sunlight? you sneeze when you go into the sunlight? And what does a particular herb tastes like to you? Can you smell that? So they're they're getting information. And then they're pulling it all together to try and figure out a precisely what does this all mean. So if everybody that sneezes when they walk into the sun has these jeans, and no one who says they don't sneeze, when they walk out into the sun has these other genes, then we're fine, right? We know we've found it. And so that's what they're doing this a lot of trial and error. And 23AndMe is constantly updating you letting you know, hey, we found this new interpretation of this particular gene or gene sequence. And so they let you know, and they say, here's what changed, or they got more information on some family ancestry. They found some older DNA, they found another strain, they found some root DNA, they're constantly updating it. So having a company like these pharmaceutical companies, getting this information is ultimately going to be good for all of us. Because if you come down with a disease or let's say that this is an even better scenario, the odds are excellent that you're going to get a specific disease. So what they've done is they look at the DNA they say, okay, we know this DNA sequence is like 98% likely to cause this disease. So let's turn off have DNA sequence wisdom that agas Wouldn't you love to be able to do that. So they turn it off, and you will never get that disease. That's what we're aiming for. Craig Peterson 9:58 And when it comes to medications, recovery, using that some doses of this will work for one person, but you have to have a higher dose for someone else, or this drug doesn't work at all, for someone, my wife, if it's morphine, she gets really loopy and floaty and detached. And she hates feeling Craig Peterson 10:17 so you know, in surgery, they've got to use different drugs. Why isn't that the same for everybody? Well, it's not the same for everyone, because of DNA, as well as some environmental conditions that could have occurred. So understanding all of this is phenomenal, is going to help us as human beings and help us on the earth, it's going to be great, okay, ultimately, ultimately, rough roads between the here and there in the future. But ultimately, it's going to be really, really good. Craig Peterson 10:49 However, let's go back to the serial killer in California, he did not give his DNA and yet they were able to track him down. It's figured right now that with as little as I've seen different numbers, but let's just say 20% of the people in in the United States have 20% of the people in the United States have their DNA analyzed, and it's in a database, they will be able to find 100% of any one of people, anybody if they have a DNA sample. In other words, if someone commits a crime, and they don't have their DNA on file, Craig Peterson 11:33 they will have 100% chance of finding that person. Well, not quite 100, but really, really, really close to 100, because what they'll be able to do is the same thing they did with the with the serial killer. And that is used some statistical analysis on the DNA to figure out what family tree this person is from because they'll know the sex. And right now they know that I'm not balding, just based on the DNA that I'm unlikely to. They know for my DNA, that I have slightly wavy hair, they know all of this stuff. So they'll be able to do a portrait. And there is some really cool work underway that takes your DNA and just from DNA, create a 3d image of what that person is likely to look like. And it is on Tanni if you've seen absolutely uncanny how close they're able to get. So with the DNA, they can tell all kinds of physical attributes, they can even create an almost a photo of that person. Of course, there's other factors, again, environmental, etc. But it's pretty darn close. And then on top of it, it's okay. This person is obviously part of the Peterson family. And we the specifically a family from New Hampshire and this area, and they will be able to narrow right down and say, Hey, do you have an uncle? Craig Peterson 12:57 And the answer? Yeah, why? Where does he live? Craig Peterson 13:02 Does he look something like this? And this is months away, frankly, just months away, not the 20% of people having their DNA tested and put on file. But being able to do the rest of this have a picture generated that, more or less looks like the person involved much better than these police sketches from people who are just trying to recall what that person looks like, in most cases, right. Craig Peterson 13:30 So you can take anonymized data and on anonymize it, re-identify the people. And depending on what the data is, you're going to use different techniques. But when it comes to DNA, we just explained how that works. But the same things true with calling histories, etc. You know, if you're constantly calling numbers in 603, area, code, 805 area code 212 area code, we know that you probably have some ties there. And then we dig into those phone numbers. And we find from those phone numbers, more information about who they are, what they do, oh, wait a minute, these people are part of a family. And they're the only family group that appears to be called from this phone number. So we put all this together. And we know how to again, re-identify you that you are part of this family. This is where you live. Craig Peterson 14:30 And that's what's been happening with the NSA data collection on just taking basic data points. Even if they don't have the phone numbers, right, Craig Peterson 14:38 the cell towers that were involved with your phone, they'll know where you work and where you live, because you're going to be pinging that same cell tower all of the time. So be very careful. This group of MIT scientists and urban planners are shown in the study that it's really fairly simple to figure out who is who, anyway, so anonymized data can be D anonymize pretty quickly even when you're working with multiple data sets inside of a city. Well, particularly, excuse me when you're working on that. Craig Peterson 15:09 So they did the test I said, in the end, it took a week to match 17% of the users and 11 weeks to get 95% accuracy rate. And with the added GPS data from smartphones took less than a week to hit the 95% accuracy. So kind of keep that in mind. You just don't have privacy anymore. And there they can D anonymize data. It's happened before. So be careful and think twice about the whole DNA thing. You know, already I've done it, I think it's going to be an amazing benefit to society is going to save lives, save pain, help people avoid misery, so I'm definitely going to do it. And I don't like the excuse of, well, you know, it's, it's going to happen anyways, I don't like the excuse of, well, I haven't committed any crimes anyways, you know, then those I don't think are legitimate because this data could be misused against us, just like having passport number stolen, we talked about last week can be used in your credit cards, your identity. And if you read that special report that I've sent out, you know that all of that information is out there, and the bad guys are using it, right. Craig Peterson 16:26 So we know where do you draw the line here? That's that's the big question. Craig Peterson 16:32 Well, hot segment when little bit long. Let's get into the rest of these. You only got about 10 minutes left here in the show. 12 minutes left today. Delete all your apps. We talked last week about the article that came out in the New York Times. This is an article from motherboard you'll see up on my website at http://CraigPeterson.com. Craig Peterson 16:53 but they go into more detail. They're talking about sensitive stops at hospitals, Planned Parenthood, various other places, do you want your employer to have that information? Because remember, now most of us get our insurance or health insurance or more employers do we want them to know that we've been making trips to this type of doctor, that type of doctor, etc, right? How much that information is going to be available in a pre-employment report where they are looking at you as a possible employee, and they find that you're doing something that might end up costing them a lot of money that might end up causing you to not be able to get to work very often, right? How far do you want this all to go? So the New York Times did publish a guide to managing restricting location on specific apps, I told you already how to do that, that might be well worth us doing as well, the best way to guarantee privacy, but the, again, the best platform to maintain your privacy. And this shouldn't be a shock to anybody. Craig Peterson 18:00 iOS, iOS does a much better job when it comes to informing you about the GPS tracking and also cell tower tracking and allowing you to turn it off. So make sure you go into security and privacy whether it's an iPhone or an Android Craig Peterson 18:17 phone and turn off the tracking or at least do what I do, which is turn it on only one I'm using the app. And of course, the big tip here is guys and gals delete apps you aren't using. Most of us have apps I have a ton of half I caught for free, right. So I just haven't I bought them I bought them quote-unquote, bought them because they were free. Why wouldn't I, it's a cool app, I might use it and it's sitting there on Craig Peterson 18:47 my phone Craig Peterson 18:48 taking up space. Now in the iOS world. It'll automatically offload from your phone if you don't use it and it needs the space which is great iOS has some of the best memory batteries management software out there it's they've done a great job on that but still delete apps you weren't using well let's talk about another big risk of your privacy This is from Market Watch carry Paul wrote this article again it's up on http://CraigPeterson.com. Craig Peterson 19:15 I try and make sure all of the articles I talked about and I curator up on my website as well. And I just I give you a little bit of a summary here and then you can click through gives you a link to the original article. But this article is kind of interesting because it's telling you to be careful who you play with. online gaming is a growing target for hackers. A new report from identity theft protection, firm experience. Yeah, that's kind of funny, isn't it? They found cybercriminals are increasingly posing as gamers to gain access to the computers and personal data. That's players. Craig Peterson 19:51 We're not trying to imply that all gamers are hackers but they do live in an anonymous environment, have good computer skills and are in an industry with billions in revenue. So be very careful about that. The gaming business is worth about 4 billion annual revenue globally which is quite big and cybercriminals can easily pose a gamer or take over an avatar the info to infiltrate games and communities they still personal credit card information, valuable game pieces, and tokens according to experience report. Craig Peterson 20:29 So, be very careful because your kids playing games can come in and you to right, we got a lot of 30 somethings that played video games, maybe a little bit too much talking about games and online does talk about screen time, Craig Peterson 20:45 Apple introduced a new feature with iOS 12 that tells you week per week if your screen time one up or one down. I think that's great. And kind of, you know, brings it into mind. Now, in my case, it's a little inaccurate, because, frankly, use my iPad and I use my phone to read books. I have the Kindle app on their plots. I read PDFs and other things. So yeah, that that's good. It's bad. But let's talk about our kids. Craig Peterson 21:13 This is from CBS News. Again, up on http://CraigPeterson.com. 60 minutes goes inside a landmark government study of young minds SC of phones, tablets, and other screens are impacting adolescent brain development. Craig Peterson 21:28 So if you have kids and wonder if they're spending time on their smartphones, and it's causing problems, the National Institutes of Health launched the most ambitious study of adolescent brain development ever attempted. They have 21 sites across the country, and they were following nine and 10-year-old kids and scanning their brains are going to follow more than 11,000 kids for 10 years and spend $300 million doing it. I guess I'd follow some kids for $300 million. Craig Peterson 22:00 So here's what they've learned so far, they haven't released it yet, obviously. But the focus when they started talking about doing the study was tobacco, marijuana, all drugs. The screen time component really came into play because we were wondering what is the impact the first wave of data from the scans of 4500 participants is in and it has the Dowling of the doctor Dahlia, the NIH, and other scientists and treating the MRI is found significant differences in the brains of some kids who use smartphones, tablets, and video games more than seven hours a day, Craig Peterson 22:40 Dr. Dowling says. What we can say is that this is what brains look like of kids who spend a lot of time on screen now there's pictures of these brain scans in this article, again, up on my website. It's really fascinating so that it's color-coded, showing the differences in these brains Craig Peterson 23:00 thinning of the cortex, which is the outermost layer of the brain that processes information from your five senses is going on. It's it's really, really bad, multinational process. They're doing a lot. If you want to find out more, check it out online at http://CraigPeterson.com. And we've got about four minutes left. Craig Peterson 23:21 So let's go into Huawei. My gosh, so you know that her name is Ming one, zero. I guess she's how Huawei CFO the daughter of its founder. And it's caused some real tensions between China Canada in the United States. That's not why we're getting go get into this right now. Her Ras and everything. They're just a matter of public record, you can find it quite easily bought Huawei, US sky calm tech, which is a company that deals with a rainy and telecom firms to sell Huawei equipment to Iran, in contravention of US sanctions on the country. That was apparently between 2009 and 2014. So we remember where the Obama administration gave billions of dollars to Iran. We did have some sanctions in place. They were kind of lifted, they've been put back in place. So China is saying that her detention was a human rights violation. But let's talk about why this matters. Huawei is very big in the telecommunications business, not just in, you know, the cell phones, but the very big telecommunications for the equipment that the carriers use base stations antennas that are the world's largest manufacturer, mobile operators use these to run the wireless networks. They carry information that helps run control grids at manufacturing firms. Craig Peterson 24:54 Think about everything that goes through the cell towers and what Comcast has an etc, etc. Craig Peterson 25:02 Well, that's why the United States said we're worried. And so they started looking into it more. And they found out that looked like Huawei. Not only was it controlled by the People's Liberation Army of China, that communist government over there, but they had been putting spy equipment, software hardware into things, all kinds of crazy allegations, but backdoors could be used for data snooping it this goes on for on the non-close inspections are missing. And you heard about what happened with the allegations are super micro and the infiltration into Google and Apple. It is really, really crazy. And now we've got the rollout of 5g wireless networks coming and while always right in the middle of that rollout. So we're very worried that Huawei could quite easily be used as a vehicle to launch attacks by the Chinese government. While ways obviously not immune to influences from the Chinese Communist government. They are saying, Hey, listen, we're just a company. Well, yeah, your company owned by the People's Liberation Army of China. We know some of the things, the atrocious things the Communist Chinese have been doing to its citizens, Craig Peterson 26:18 not just the tens of millions, that they starve to death we're talking about today. Right now, if you speak out against the government, you get blacklisted. You can't even get on a train. You can't get on a plane, you can't go anywhere. It can't do anything because you said something that the government doesn't agree with. So this is a real big Craig Peterson 26:38 concern. And then add on top of that the fact that the Chinese government considers the cyber war to be full out warfare and they have a huge cyber war department and I forget what the name of it is. It's a number that they're using. We had a briefing on that with the in regard but they are using cyber warfare as a way to attack other countries including the United States. So if we have Huawei equipment critical to our communications and China decides to shut down our communications the impact could be horrific. So there are a lot of reasons why we don't want while way to be doing what they're doing and why we issued an arrest warrant that Canadians us to seize hers she was changing plane so this article Craig Peterson 27:34 and more course right there on http://CraigPeterson.com.
